Personally I think re-running the retrofunding round with a less game-able mechanic would lead to a better outcome. Manual disqualification (DQ) can cause bad vibes in legitimate builders pretty easily, especially since the rules are changing 1-2 days before the end of the round. Why? It's harder to come up with DQ criteria than you might think. Will they check amps AND noice? Will they count only paid likes or both likes/recasts? What about someone who has 100 likes and only 5 of them are paid? What about someone whose cast was amped by someone else? Each of these is pretty arguable, and the nature of the game means you need to do the DQ criteria in secret and that lends itself to bad vibes IMHO. I've been on the receiving end of that manual DQ process many times. I arrive in a new community, pumped up and ready to contribute only to be told my contributions aren't worth anything compared to "trusted contributors". It sucks. 1/3

It’s easy to vilify people using amps/noice, but it wasn’t against the rules when the round began. I used amps myself - I paid for 5 of 64 likes and 1 of 22 recasts. I also shared my cast in DMs so others would vote for it. Does that make me scammy? I don’t think so…but the implication of being manually DQ’d is that I am. Do we want to give contributors this feeling? Better to re-run the round with a consistent set of rules than make manual DQ decisions. It would preserve the vibes IMHO. To be clear, re-running the round is asking more from the organizers, who are already doing a lot without any compensation AND they bear some responsibility in the way it went down. It was easily foreseeable that rounds/amps/noice would lead to people paying for engagement. The mechanism they chose was ripe for this. 2/3

I have accepted that I’ll be DQ’d. It is the organizer’s initiative - they can run it any way they want. But I also think that if we want the best outcome, we should re-run the outcome without manual DQ’s. It better pursues Purple’s mission. 3/3
